I had some apples that needed to be used up, so I combined them with a can of applesauce and turned out my best-tasting apple pie ever, writes Cherie Sweet of Evansville, Indiana. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed |
4 to 6 tablespoons cold water |
4-1/2 teaspoons fat-free milk |
1-1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar |
filling: |
5 cups sliced peeled tart apples |
1/4 cup raisins |
sugar substitute equivalent to 3 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons brown sugar |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1-1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce |
2 teaspoons butter |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the water, milk and vinegar; gradually add to crumb mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
2. Coat a 9-in. pie plate with cooking spray. Set aside a third of the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining dough to fit pie plate. Transfer pastry to plate; trim even with edge.
3. In a large bowl, combine apples and raisins. Combine the sugar substitute, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; add to apple mixture and toss to coat. Spoon 3 cups into the crust; cover with applesauce. Top with remaining apple mixture; dot with butter.
4. Roll out reserved portion of dough; make a lattice crust. Trim and flute edges. Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.
